Our Stainless Steel Olympic Barbell has a full stainless steel shaft and sleeves. This smooth sleeves make sliding iron on and off easy, so no worry about scratching off a finish or taking paint off your plates.

Combining a stainless steel, 190,000 PSI tensile strength shaft with industrial hard chrome sleeves and quality needle bearings, this version of the Olympic WL Bar ranks among the best in the industry for feel, durability, and performance. Each 20KG bar includes an exclusive knurl pattern, which is precision-cut for a firm grip without the sharpness or abrasiveness.

Stainless steel is known for its unmatched oxidation resistance, but not all types produce the same level of performance. This bar handled one of the greatest loads in history, due to the length of the shaft and sleeves, as well as the use of 1,000LB of 2″ thick steel plates. That very same steel went into making our 28MM Stainless Steel Olympic Bar, and it’s a difference you can instantly feel.
